Office Administrator: Deb Fricker

I am originally from the other end of the state in Bergen County. I was brought up in a small town named Glen Rock and growing up always attended church with my family. My husband Bill and I have been married for 36 years this year (2015) and have one son together. We came to Cape May County for many years on vacation before re-locating here in 1995.

When we arrived we went church searching and within months found a wonderful home here at Seashore Community Church of the Nazarene. The people here have become our family and have made us feel loved and at home since we walked in the door in August of 1996.

I have served the Lord here in many capacities at various times; on the Church Board, Women’s Ministry, Adult Bible Study teacher and the Youth department. I have been truly blessed and humbled with the opportunities in which I have been allowed to serve. I am grateful for the continued chance to serve God’s church, my church family and all those who come through our doors in search of something. I am excited that I have the opportunity to serve in the office and I look forward to what God will do in my life and in the lives of others every day.

I also look forward to seeing the smiling faces of the children in our daycare each day, drying their tears and giving hugs when needed. Imagine how loved one feels to get 50 hugs every day with no expectation of anything in return, just love freely given, its like getting 50 hugs from Jesus every day.

I am blessed in every way.

Almond Weech – Compassionate Care Coordinator

My name is Almond Weech and it is an honor and absolute privilege to be considered among those to assist in the work of Lord. It is truly a humbling experience. Furthermore, I am elated to be associated with such an outstanding organization as the International Church of the Nazarene, Philadelphia district particularly. Over the years I have acquired a wealth of knowledge in the areas of Community and youth development/ organization, public relation, customer service and the like. My experience is diverse, both in the private sector and the local church of the Nazarene.

I find pleasure in interacting with people of all walks of life and culture unique to my own, also, the young and the “young at heart”. My passion

is the development and further education of our young, less fortunate, disenfranchised etc. It brings me great joy working alongside likeminded people, coming together to achieve a common goal. Interestingly, I also enjoy cooking and bringing a smile to the face of one with an empty tummy.

I hale from a necklace of islands nestled some thirty five (35) miles off the coast of Florida. Here, you’ll find the Island of Grand Bahama, the third largest Island in archipelago of the Bahamas. A daily walk along crisp white sandy beaches and resting periodically beneath tall coconut palms, shading from the brisk warm sun is the place I call home.
